 In case you were wondering, the iPhone is not bullet proof. Unlike James Bond's cigarette case, it will NOT save your life if shot by a mad scientist. Apparently this was a big question over at 1337PWN.com, could the iPhone take a gunshot and keep on going. So they grabbed their first generation iPhone (they're getting a second gen iPhone anyways) and went to the firing range with .308 caliber rifle.
The end result is a blown apart iPhone; don't watch if you are sensitive to violence. The shooter actually gets a bullet through the home button, but this was an obvious lucky shot as he emptied the clip in his M1 Garand. A M1's clip holds 8 x .30 caliber rounds, and it looks like he hit it only two times. So he gets a double D as a grade for this project. A D for being a lousy shot on camera and a D for dumb for wasting a perfectly good iPhone.
